Changed the heater blower motor in my laser.....someone buy it so I can fix the FTO.
& lined the 4pk air-con belt back up again so I can get the steering rack sorted this week then be back on the road at least

Drove my FTO to Marketplace Lichart and let it stay at the parking lot, waiting patiently for its owner to come back from shopping.

modified stock air box to accomodate HKS air ram I reckon that you cant beat stock box for keeping it cold in there(has cold feed from front or bar and nice flowing intake to TB)

Actually, I meant to say Im looking into a low profile sub. Mtx sledgehammer was overkill and took up too much roon/weight so looking to replace it with something that will give off a little more bass than 6x9's.
Looking into pioneer slimlines, might even just consider a normal sub like a 10" kicker. Something small to wedge in between my back seats and the rear strut bar.
Are the soundstream's any good? how much for a 13"?
